Pros

Coworkers were friendly and dedicated. Benefits were very good. The company culture was very comfortable for many years, and therefore employee retention was high.

Cons

Downsizings that began in 2008 and accelerated in 2010-2011 have really sapped morale. IT resources, which used to be pretty good, have been cut far too much, which reduces productivity. Some managers are technically strong, but are very weak leaders. Employees who are stuck under those managers are just trapped in their careers.

Pros

Good pay for the location. Established business in the area (over 50 years running), probably not going anywhere for a while. As long as you show up, do your work, and don't violate safety rules, you have job security. Rotating schedule allows for a lot of time off (unless you're drafted).

Cons

The environment can be very uncomfortable in some areas due to lack of climate controls. Constant back and forth between "the way it's always been done" and "let's try something new." Rotating schedule can be harsh. Sometimes it's hard to know who is in charge of something, as people get moved around a lot. Draft can eat into your time off, especially if your area is shorthanded. Communication from corporate seems to hit a wall before it reaches the technicians and operators; changes planned for years will seem abrupt to the people on the floor.
